Nintendo Offers Its Own Custom Academy Awards Ahead Of Tomorrow's Oscars
We'll have to wait until tomorrow to learn what the Academy thinks are the best films and performances of last year, but Nintendo has shared some of it own bizarre awards today. Unfortunately, The Lego Movie was still snubbed.
Here's the list of Nintendo's awards below. Curiously absent (other than The Lego Movie)? The Super Mario Bros. movie from 1993. Technically, it released more than 20 years ago, but I watched it in the last year so I feel like it technically counts.
- The Princess Peach Award, for best female costume in a movie - Maleficent
- The Samus Aran Award, for strongest female character – Olivia Evans - Boyhood
- The Smash Award, for best fight scene of the year – Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
- The Dragonite Award, for best film featuring a dragon – How To Train Your Dragon 2
- The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time Award, for best music scene in a film - Whiplash
- The Star Fox Best Barrel Roll in a movie – Guardians of the Galaxy
- Honorary Birdo Award, for best film with the word 'Bird' in its name – Birdman
